essiw Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Hello all, I putted 600 maple longs on the ge this morning and didn't sell one. haven't played for 1.5 years but I wonder why isn't the price lower, or do they sell at all? If not what am I supposed to do with them other then alching? http://sign.tip.it/1/2/79/260/essiw.png Retired item crew I would like to be credited as essiw at the website update & corrections forum.

Note I said useless. Ways of cashing it in is getting a highly sought item to lend out like claws or godswords and lending it out for a price. I would just cash in for points for mobilzing armies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheefoo Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Use for junk, or as I did, give it in for commodities at Mobilising Armies.

aspeeder Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Frozen price meaning that it only sells at lowest, but jagex made it so the med price will not fall any farther, and becase no one buys at that price, it is "frozen". http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22 99 Necromancy since 11/22/25 Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 33 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 10 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understood that, but why did jagex do that? what is the point? now it doesn't sell at all because no one ever buys except low levels and f2p It's not Jagex. It's the market. If no one is buying or selling (or one side of the equation is missing), the price will stay the same - frozen (flat horizontal line if you look at the graphs). There is some volatility for maple longs (it's not perfectly flat), but because the changes are so small in the price (due to very low demand), you might be able to sell them but it will take a while.. definitely not in a day.. maybe in a week or two if you're lucky I'm guessing.

Oh you're talking about the min and max price. I was talking about the market price. Yes, it looks like Jagex sets the min and max price.. I don't know why they do it.. and what formula they use to do it with.

A_Gardener Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Yes, it looks like Jagex sets the min and max price.. I don't know why they do it.. and what formula they use to do it with. I was always under the impression that it was +-5% of market price, but don't quote me. Gardening for Victory! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was always under the impression that it was +-5% of market price, but don't quote me. It usually is, but with some items JaGeX creates a "bottom" so that the price cannot go any lower, and as stated above that is to minimize alching. http://i700.photobucket.com/albums/ww6/aspeeder/Siggy_zpsewaiux2t.png 99 Strength since 6/02/10 99 Attack since 9/19/10 99 Constitution since 10/03/10 99 Defense since 3/14/11 99 Slayer since 8/30/11 99 Summoning since 9/10/11 99 Ranged since 09/18/11 99 Magic since 11/12/11 99 Prayer since 11/15/11 99 Herblore since 3/29/12 99 Firemaking since 5/15/12 99 Smithing since 10/04/12 99 Crafting since 9/16/13 99 Agility since 9/23/13 99 Dungeoneering since 1/1/14 99 Fishing since 2/4/14 99 Mining since 2/28/14 99 Farming since 6/04/14 99 Cooking since 6/11/14 99 Runecrafting since 10/10/14 9 Fletching since 11/11/14 99 Thieving since 11/14/14 99 Woodcutting since 11/20/14 99 Construction since 12/03/14 99 Divination since 2/22/15 99 Hunter since 2/23/15 99 Invention since 01/20/17 99 Archaeology since 5/14/22 99 Necromancy since 11/22/25 Quest Point Cape since 08/20/09 Maxed since 2/23/15 Fire Cape since 02/27/13 Slayer: 3 Leaf-Bladed Swords, 8 Black Masks, 2 Hexcrests, 26 Granite Mauls, 5 Focus Sights, 33 Abyssal Whips, 9 Dark Bows, 1 Whip Vine, 3 Staffs of Light, 15 Polypore Sticks Dragon: 10 Draconic Visages, 7 Shield Left Halves, 20 Dragon Boots, 40 Dragon Med Helms, 8 Dragon Platelegs, 6 Dragon Spears, 20 Dragon Daggers, 5 Dragon Plateskirts, 1 Dragon Chainbody, 63 Off-hand Dragon Throwing Axes, 19 Dragon Longswords, 27 Dragon Maces, 1 Dragon Ward Treasure Trails: Saradomin Full Helm, Ranger Boots, Rune Body (t), Saradomin Vambraces, Various God Pages Misc:1 Onyx,1 Ahrim's Hood, 1 Guthan's Chainskirt, 1 Demon Slayer Boots Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinkhan Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I heard somewhere that it was to make so sellers wouldn't be totally ripped off for their items and common skilled items wouldn't become super deflated. Fire runes and similar items that people generate a great number of would be going for less than half than they are now. Willow logs would be at like 2 GP right now :roll: Something to fill my sig with until I find a replacement.Also check out my blug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
